Zusammenfassung:Fungal infections are on the increase and those of the jaw cavities with Aspergillus species may be connected with the root apices of teeth in the upper jaw. Diagnostic changes in the sinus maxillaris and certain types of facial pain may be indicative of fungal infection. The authors report a case of aspergillosis sinusitis and describe the diagnostic methods and treatment of this infection that may be associated with endodontic treatment. O número de infecções fúngicas tem aumentado. Infecções fúngicas com a espécie Aspergillus, presentes nas cavidades dos maxilares, podem estar relacionadas com os ápices dos dentes do arco superior. Mudanças diagnósticas nos seios maxilares e certos tipos de dores faciais podem ser indicativos de infecção fúngica. Os autores relatam um caso de sinusite por aspergilose (aspergillosis sinusitis) e descrevem os métodos de diagnóstico e tratamento desta infecção, que pode estar relacionada com o tratamento endodôntico.
